It is indeed freeware. As part of the decision to make it freeware,
Qualcomm had to take out the X1 search engine. However, there are plenty
of places to download Eudora from that include the X1 search.
My downloaded installation file has the name Eudora_7.1.0.9.exe and is
17,008KB. But I don't know anymore whether that includes the X1 or not.
Also, I have had to copy my registration info into it again when I
installed it on a new computer, but there are plenty of registrations
available on the web. And (apparently) they are legit.
You may want to search this newsgroup for "John H Meyers" and "X1", since
he often had something to say about this, as did others.

THere should be no ads when you add a registration. is your listed email
correct? Then I can send you directions privately.

I have Eudora 4.2.2 up and running on Window 7 just fine.
It is sending and receiving mail.
All I did to get around this problem . . .
*** "Eudora was unable to update the system registry. ***
*** Your default mail program has not been changed." ***
was right click the Eudora Icon and select Run as Administrator.
I have not gotten the message since then and all is well.
I installed it in C:/Eudora and C:/Eudora/Attach is the attachment folder.

{embarrassed}
I thought it was indeed understood that you had to run Eudora as
Administrator, but I never mentioned it ...

Update:
On a side note, it does not do embedded graphics well.
The souce code comes in the body of the message at you have to
click on a link that points to the C:\Eudora\Embedded folder
and then I can see the graphic. Looks very messy at least on
the example it tried.
This version (4.2.2) would be good for text messages but not graphics.
This may be a reason not to use this version even if it works.

"Had code", lol. They used keygens. Which is what I'm guessing "Han"
is going to use to generate a registration key for you. This is why
he asked if your e-mail addy is valid, so he can send you a key.

I have used my registration information on multiple copies, thus far all my
own. There are plenty of keys on the web, such as in older posts here.
I'm just too lazy to post them here.

Running Eudora "as administrator" undoes the security against malware
which Windows 7 (and Vista) attempted to introduce.
Better might be to store mail and settings in a place
completely apart from the program files.
Windows' "Default email program" means what program Windows will launch
if some _other_ application needs to send mail,
and has no effect on your launching and using Eudora manually.
You can set Windows' default email program in your
Internet Options (control panel, or in Internet Explorer),
and have no need for Eudora to "run as administrator"
to set that for all users of the computer,
which has become an obsolete way to do it.

There is neither anything inserted into outgoing mail (and never was)
nor is there any advertising displayed on-screen to the user,
by any version of Eudora,
even when running in the so-called "sponsored" mode,
because all ads stopped after April 2007, when Qualcomm
stopped bothering to receive any more money for Eudora,
either from purchasers or from advertisers.
If you choose to run Eudora in the so-called "sponsored" mode
(in which almost all features are enabled),
the small square gray window in which ads used to appear
will initially appear, but can be detached and dragged off-screen.
Better still, if you search for: Penn State Eudora
with almost any internet search engine, the topmost item returned
will likely contain an academic site license still valid
for every Windows and Macintosh version 4.3 through 7.1.0.9,
which will enable "paid" mode (adding spam filtering
to the enabled features) and stop displaying the empty "ad" window.
There is no limit to how many can use any registration,
and no checking at all whether your code was actually purchased
or generated by some "keygen" -- in short, Eudora never "phoned home"
or checked anything, other than the self-checks
built into the registration code numbers.
Each registration code matches a specific "first and last name"
combination, so be sure to enter the names along with the registration code.
When validating a registration, spaces, punctuation and capitalization
are ignored in the first and last names,
and non-digits are ignored in the registration code.
A "purchase month number" built into the registration code that you can get
above, or generated by most "keygens," is high enough that it will be accepted
by all versions of Eudora ever produced using this system -- which happens,
by the way, to be patented by Qualcomm, with many details revealed by the patent:

I stand corrected. I'll fix my machine immediately.
